      I think some people are happiest by consistency and routine and some are really inspired to push for more. I also think throughout our lives we ebb and flow through these two conditions-wanting more, pulling back, etc.

      Hey ! To answer your question, I don’t think there’s inherently anything wrong with being “comfortable” per say. However, when you become complacent and hide laziness behind the idea of being “comfortable” it becomes problematic 😅

    When my kids were younger, I was always on the hunt for free activities. The library had free classes and events for kids during the summer. Our city had free family events at the public parks. And we rotated the different restaurants where kids ate free. Doing free activities kept the cost down during the summer.

    Sis we all go through a readjustment period periodically. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I had to readjust my goals because I found out that my husband and I are expecting our first baby. So while we are still determined to get to debts paid off the timeline has been extended because we have to save for that. Also, thank you for saying that you want to be a 9-5 baddie. Sometimes I feel like our culture says if you’re not an entrepreneur you aren’t a baddie, but I’ve never wanted to do that. I’m proud to hustle my 9-5 😂😂😂😂

  • @Jesus-kt5dc
    @Jesus-kt5dc Місяць тому +5

    The problem might be the way you view and do your finances. Example, why do you have savings and buffer? When you can easily accomplish the same thing by simply putting the money into the Citi card. When you put money into the credit card, IS THE MONEY GONE? or is it in your control? A: Not only is the money not gone but it lowers the average daily balance. Which means you pay less interest. Start by directing that 150 every payday to the credit card. (If paid weekly) That means 600 pay down of your citi card. Look at it like 600 + 30% (if the rate on the card goes to 30%). So the citi card is your emergency fund, a checking account, inflation beater, beating stock market. Hope this helps, have a great day.

    I’ve think we’ve all hit that plateau when it comes to financial goals. I’ve have at least 5 money goals that I want to accomplish by August but I know it’s gonna take me longer than that. I realized that’s it’s okay. As long as your 4 walls are paid for and there’s food and shelter for you and your children, you’re already winning. I’m currently studying for my CAPM and that has definitely gotten me out of my comfort zone when it comes to business and business management. It’s definitely a challenge and I will pass this exam this year!

I wanna meet my goals but I have obstacles in the way and that is discouraging but I’m silly enough to believe I can do it no matter what. I went through a crazy custody battle and won, but am being dragged though the courts on appeals 🙄 so I’m drowning in legal fees and feeling financially stuck because I’m constantly waiting on the other shoe to drop.

    A couple reasons why you may not have the motivation financially is because of your debt amount- when you were in $35k debt it was literally a monkey on your back that made you feel trapped and you were able to overcome and pay it off, now your debt is much lower and honestly manageable so you can handle it differently so the rush is not worth it… and I agree about the 9-5 however if you look at it your business is also UA-cam
